It looks like the DA have taken to the skies, using Mavericks’ style aerial banner placement in Johannesburg. Here’s a pic of their airborne signage cruising around Johannesburg. Hey did you catch THIS GUY‘s numberplate we posted earlier? [source: @maimaneAM]

The Government is going full steam ahead with their e-toll plans, after the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance’s (Outa) bid to stop the controversial multibillion Rand e-tolling project.

Judge Bill Prinsloo has granted the anti-e-Tolls lobby group, OUTA, an urgent hearing to argue for an interdict against the implementation of SANRAL’s controversial e-Tolls programme, which drew the ire of motorists and labour unions across the country in recent weeks.
